Bloody Mary Bar

This weekend we really wanted to show my brother a good time, help make the transition out of college a little easier & to introduce him to all of our friends in Georgia. So, naturally, we hosted a Bloody Mary Bar & Brunch in our backyard.

I'm actually not a huge Bloody Mary fan but it's my brother's favorite drink, PLUS I love the fact that you can really get out of control with garnishes. If restaurants can put a beefstick in theirs, I felt like I could push it a little further & put an entire corn dog in ours. We added celery, pickles, bacon, olives & grilled cheese kabobs to the menu, along with an assortment of hot sauces & peppers.

We also rimmed them with crushed Fritos instead of salt. Bet ya can't guess who's idea that was. :)

The bigger the glasses, the better. I would honestly have put an entire rotisserie chicken in this cocktail if it would have fit.

I know this is totally not baby-blog-material, but it is festive & would make a fun Father's Day brunch idea if your dad or hubby is a Bloody Mary fan! :)

Love your blog!!! Question...how did you and your husband make friends after moving up here to Georgia? I'm from Florida and moved up here to be close to family and besides one close friend and a few acquaintances I haven't really made friends...any ideas? I know I off topic lol

I like that you include things here that aren't exclusively baby-blog material. It shows your personal style, which is refreshing. It's nice to see that being a mama doesn't have to completely alter what you like and who you are. =]

I'm not a big bloody mary fan myself, but this just looks SO fun! I love all your party ideas and the way you make all of them so much FUN! My question is about your CORN DOGS! (yum) Do you make them yourself or are they store bought? My boyfriend and I love them and I'd love to learn how to make them myself but I don't know if I have the skill! Please share :)

I'm not a big bloody mary fan myself, but I just LOVE this! I might not have a little one of my own (yet!) but I can't get enough of your blog. I follow it for (first and foremost) the amazing pictures and expressions of little Harpie! I also LOVE all your party ideas and how you make sure they are FUN over anything. My question is about the corn dogs (yum!). Do you make them yourself or are they store bought? My boyfriend and I love us some corn dogs and I've been thinking about trying to make them but I don't know if I have the skill! Please share :)

I'm not a fan of Bloody Marys either. Here in Canada we drink Caesars, which is kind of a spicy version of a Bloody Mary, and they are spectacular. Give it a try! http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_(cocktail)They're especially good with some pickle juice and a piece of pickled asparagus.Now all you need is poutine and you've got yourself a delicious Canadian feast! :)
